IS THERE A GOOD REASON FOR A NEW GODZILLA?

you and Tsar read like Siskel and Ebert. You should think about doing a movie review blog. Tsar does the stuff with statistics and data and you talk out of your ass.

That would be more convincing if you could point out errors in my analysis.

The thing is, neither Siskel or Ebert talked out of their ass the way hawkeye10 does.

If A2K is still here when the next movie comes out I will give you your " I told you so" when it opens much slower than this one does, assuming that I am right that thus one is a dude, which will be proven next weekend with a greater than 60% drop off from this weekend.

No, as I and others have noted, Edwards modeled his Godzilla—deliberately or not—less on the structure of these films than on that of the many inferior Godzilla sequels. In those movies, like this one, some new monstrosity rears its ugly head (Ghidora, the Smog Monster, Mechagodzilla, etc.) and rampages across Japan until Godzilla shows up to restore balance. Sound familiar? For the record, I love these movies for their campy grandeur. But they are not the model I would have chosen for a $160 million reboot (nor, for that matter, the model Edwards seems to think he did choose). For a sequel? Maybe. But to reintroduce moviegoers to Godzilla as a wholly reactive figure in a movie whose plot is overwhelmingly dependent on some new, not particular interesting monsters seems a mistake to me.

But that’s just me. Obviously, many, many people liked Godzilla a lot more than I did, and I’m not trying to persuade anyone that they were wrong to do so. But as long as some discussion had arisen on the question of whether Edwards used his Godzilla too sparingly, I wanted to clarify my critique: It’s not the lack of Godzilla screen time, it’s the lack of Godzilla focus.

The thing is, neither Siskel or Ebert talked out of their ass the way hawkeye10 does.
